20 Things You Didn't Know About Me

1. I never plan anything. Why? Because I'm awful at it. My brain works in one mode and one mode only. Anymore and it overloads.

2. I'm 37 but act 15 and look 25.

3. I'm a old school nerd when it comes to records. I have 2 record players and many albums. Seriously nothing beats the sound of a record. Nothing.

4. I don't eat raw carrots or apples. Its a texture thing. I will eat them cooked but keep those raw things away from me.

5. Ive eaten steak 2 times in my life. I don't get the hoopla about steak at all. Its good but not worth $15+ a pound for.

6. I wear flip flops 80% of the year and I live in Oregon.

7. I love old things and this includes my husband. Just kidding he's only a year older than me. But a year is a year baby! From old kitchen items, furniture and even clothes. LOVE IT!

8. I'm addicted to liquid energy. MMMMM COFFEE!

9. I'm just as in love with my husband as the day I laid eyes on him. Its pretty sickening to people. Mostly our daughters. Only when we make out in front of them. In a week its our 15th wedding anniversary.

10. Although I grew up pretty poor in a single mother household I can honestly say I never felt deprived at all. My mama is and always has been the most amazing mother ever. Ever!

11. My favorite juice is grape juice. Hands down.

12. I rarely buy anything for myself. Well unless you count sweet sweet handmade pottery I score in thrift stores.

13. My best friends name is Dulcimer. Yes you read that correct. Dulcimer is an instrument. She is the most beautiful person inside and out.

14. When I was a kid I had pet rats, parakeets and a cactus.

15. I am a half full glass kind of gal.

16. I can't see at night. I'm blind. Even in my own home. Ive lost count how many times I have jammed my toes on furniture.

17. Ive been the same size since middle school. From shoe's to clothes nothing has changed.

18. I'm a big chicken. No scary movies for me unless its real paranormal stuff which for some reason excites me and scares the pee out of me.

19. I laugh till I cray. At a certain point my body says sure lets cry now. AFV gets me every single week.

20. I care too much. So much that I get anxiety about it. Mostly stuff that I have no control over like global warming, toxic chemicals and where the world is going to. I'm afraid for my children but know if I continue to be a good example just one day maybe my kids will be the new green leaders and will keep the fight going.

About Me

My mother raised my sister and I all by herself. We were very poor but raised very well. I watched as my mom cut back on everything she could to get by. Grew up helping my grandmother with her large garden and canned everything we could. So when I got married and had 4 daughters of my own, I knew what I had to do. All those things I learned from watching my mom came flooding in. And ive been doing it ever since.
Readers Note: This is a hobby that I enjoy and do not make any profit from. I do this to help others try to get by with freebies or almost free things. My goal is to help as many people as I can get by with what little they have.
